Today's Readings
1 John 2: 18-21
Children, this is the final hour;
you have heard
that the Antichrist is coming,
and now many Antichrists
have already come;
from this we know
that it is the final hour.
They have gone from among us,
but they never really belonged to us;
if they had belonged to us,
they would have stayed with us.
But this was to prove
that not one of them belonged to us.
But you have been anointed
by the Holy One,
and have all received knowledge.
I have written to you
not because you are ignorant of the truth,
but because you are well aware of it,
and because no lie
can come from the truth.
Psalm 96: 1-2, 11-13
Sing a new song to Yahweh!
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!
Sing to Yahweh, bless his name!Proclaim his salvation day after day,
Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad!
Let the sea thunder, and all it holds!
Let the countryside exult, and all that is in it,
and all the trees of the forest cry out for joy,at Yahwehs approach, for he is coming,
coming to judge the earth;
he will judge the world with saving justice,
and the nations with constancy.
John 1: 1-18
In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
except through him.
What has come into being in him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not overpower it.A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe
through him.
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.The Word was the real light
that gives light to everyone;
he was coming into the world.
He was in the world
that had come into being through him,
and the world did not recognise him.
He came to his own
and his own people did not accept him.But to those who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God,
to those who believed in his name
who were born not from human stock
or human desire
or human will
but from God himself.
The Word became flesh,
he lived among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory that he has from the Father
as only Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth.John witnesses to him. He proclaims:
This is the one of whom I said:
He who comes after me
has passed ahead of me
because he existed before me.Indeed, from his fullness
we have, all of us, received
one gift replacing another,
for the Law was given through Moses,
grace and truth have come
through Jesus Christ.
No one has ever seen God;
it is the only Son,
who is close to the Fathers heart,
who has made him known.
R. There are 3 things that
are constant
Faith, hope and love
Love is truth
Let music ring in hearts filled
with love and truth
Darkness is drudgery like
a bucket of soot.
And the greatest of these is
love
We see the beautiful creation
of God
Jesus has asked us to spread
the devotion of these
2 Hearts
Jesus' Heart on fire for
love of us
Giving us Himself and
Mary's heart - all pure,
Mary full of grace
God is love
God gives us marriage
to show how men and
women are to work as
one and
in marriage - love
so much to co-create
children to propagate
the earth
This is God's Plan He shows
us love and His desire
for men and women to be
one in marriage
Giving and receiving one in
God
So much so He made marriage
a sacrament a vow
for life (unless the Church
sees fit for annulment)
But God's plan is that men
stay married and bring
forth children
a loving family
a loving community
Our birth right is we were
conceived in love
We were brought into this
world God picked us
He created us and the
married couple in love
participates in co-creating
R. God is showing us profound
unity in marriage and
the co-creation of
children
God gives us hearts to love,
to dream, to wait for our
love of others husbands,
children, grandchildren
I have a picture of my family in
the form of a heart with
my family in Mary's heart
God gives us our family husband
and wife to raise olive
plants about the table
Love in the heart
Love is giving
Oh how I know love from
those God has given
me to be close to my
heart
A specialness for a special
relationship with some
giving deeply in our
hearts even when we
no longer see the loved
one love lasts real
love is like the invisible
string
When Fr. Carter died I am
still united to him in
heaven
My love for him still
continues and brings
fruit for the Kingdom
My love and union with him
never dies I'm not
mad he died he is a
great intercessor in heaven
"Love makes the world go round"
Have you heard this?
God wants union of men
and women
God wants communication
Communication is love
Touching, Talking, Body
languages are expressions
of physical love
Loving in our hearts never
dies even by death
a person is missing the
law of love when they are
punishing people alive
for wrongs done to them
by people who are dead
They need to be reconciled in
their hearts in forgiving
even the dead
Hatred hurts our physical
self - organs holding
out anger punishment
control for power unlawfully
envy, jealousies
hurt our hearts
Song: Why Do We Hurt the Ones We Love
R. We are rebelling against
God's law of love
we are in conflict with
God creating us in His
image and likeness
Holding out in unloving ways against people we
are supposed to respect,
love, obey
is what Fr. Carter
says is sin
Denying God's command to love
To work according to the
Father's Plan of unity,
harmony, giving,
loving, working things
out
Being united as God wants
with the ones He
planned for us to
work with, live
with be one with
God's law of love is the
greatest commandment
The music of the angels sing of
pure and perfect love
On this Christmas we see Jesus
came in love
not a hard bearing King
When we try to force power
for control against God's
will we see hard hearts
against a little
Sacred Heart of love
R. St. John into today's readings
gives us the words of love
The Church was given to us by
Christ and we see the blood
of the saints.
St. Paul told us 3 things remain
constant
faith, hope and love and
the greatest of these is love
The Love of the 2 Hearts
We cannot ever even
know the love of the
Sacred heart, it is beyond
all we know.
Jesus gives us baptism
What a gift
God gives us the example in
the saints that went
before us
They showed us how they, many
of them, followed in the
footprints of God as they,
the martyrs, shed their
blood, so 2000 years later
we have the Church as
we do today
With such given to us by
the martyrs that shed their
blood for us
do we see how we can give
the love in our hearts
to our brothers in getting
along and working out
with each other our
differences so we can
work in unity to do
the work to help promote
God's Kingdom.
When we have been given so much
can we not give love to
others as God has commanded
us to do
Mary appeared in Clearwater to
teach us about her love
for us her children
She appeared to me to spread
this message of her love
to us.
God loves us so much and He
gives us love and He wants
us to put on Christ and love
others, without strings attached
for our puffed up glory
God loves us so much Look at
the gift of Himself He gives
the Eucharist
R. Our days are to be for
loving, our days are short
God calls religious to be faithful
to Him To do what they do for
Jesus and say I love You Jesus
For You Jesus my love
I give You myself Jesus
Jesus wants us to love others
What we do to others we do to
Jesus
We see the love Jesus had for
Mary and we see the love
of the Father for Mary
We are to affirm our love
God communicates His love to
us
It is cruel to withhold needed
communication to punish
and hurt and control
for our evil purpose.
There are sins of omission
God calls us to work with each
other
to communicate in love
with each other
to obey those over us
To recognize the dignity of
others and not thinking
we are high on the ladder
and others are to be used
by us.
The person who loves - gives
for the good of the other
to help them to be more
holy as God wants them
to be
God calls religious to be
married to Him in a special
way Many wear rings
and habits and crucifixes
to show they belong as a
religious to God.
The Blue Books are Jesus' letters
of love to us - so we tell
the world, the hungry how
much God loves us
God knows us and our hearts
far more than we know
ourselves
The Holy Spirit dwelling in the
graced baptized soul can
help us grow in our ways
of loving
The more one loves - the more one
lets down the walls about
themselves the more they
intimately know another.
Trusting a friend with knowledge
of ourselves so we can
share ourselves, give
ourselves more
Not secrets, hiding, lying
to ourselves as we wear
a mask
thinking one thing in secret
and showing a face that
is different to our hearts
How do we love Jesus more?
Reading the Word.
Loving His letters to know
Him more
Loving those He loved so
much He died for
them
Jesus loved us so much He
emptied Himself in
giving Himself in love
Love consumes us
We love this Movement given
to us by Jesus
We don't want to offend
Jesus or the Movement
or the people He called
Loving these things more
draws us closer to Jesus
When I love others
I love Jesus more
Real Love has its source in God
Look at His Heart with the
flame of love coming
from the Heart
Jesus is on fire for love of
us
R. We can make a mess and
Jesus can clean it up
if we try to serve Him,
say we are sorry and
come with a humble
loving Heart
A darkness can cover our
soul and God forgives
us in confession of
mortal sins
The devil wants secrets and
evil to lurk in the heart
deception
trying to force others to
accept our wrong
doing as right so
satan can change
good rules according
to the Father's Plan
i.e. abortion
violence on t.v.
lying to prove we are
right or get power
Song: Why Do We Hurt the Ones We Love
R. and store up guilt
hurting someone
we love
Jesus was whipped
for our sins
Jesus sweat blood
in the garden
What do you fear
losing
Power
Being abandoned
Fear of Abandonment
What does a man do in
power seeking
because he fears being
unloved
being alone
So one tries to control
get men under them
dependent on them
so they are never
abandoned, alone
Power
control so they
are never alone
they make others
dependent on them
co-dependent so
person can't leave
them
I will do this so you are
forced to need me and
then I can rescue and
I will never be left
alone again
Even though the dependency
I force on you is
wrong It's based on
me, my weakness, my
need to control
Not concerned with others,
moral order, just don't
let me ever be left alone
again and abandoned by
those who I thought
loved me
forcing others under me
for what is needed
because of my fear
of abandonment
fear of being alone
not controlling someone
Weakness not to let go and let
God's will be done
Controlling times
Making others wait
enforces ones power that
they have a grip on
the people forcing
co-dependency passive-aggressive
Others are stuck by the
sick person's force
when they are threatened
by others, at work, then
they clamp down more to prove
they can force their
codependency and behavior
on others
because their wound was
worse due to an event
Christmas, children leaving
seeing people happy that
abandoned them
So they act out on innocent others
Jesus came - the Son of God a
baby out of love He
died for our sins
Look at what happened with
Hitler
If you judge without rules
living to prove yourselves
always right then who
can change a man in
control doing wrong,
disobeying rules that are
according to God's will
The devil tries to change rules when
men who are wrong, force their
wrongful behavior and
exert power to control to
try to force what he is doing
wrong as right forcing
for controlling and rescuing.
A roller-coaster dependent
on their power and control
God is over all these men doing
evil - trying to make others
say to them "yes so-and-so yes" because
they are in control
the innocent party is coerced
A person in authority is supposed to be like Jesus,
He gives a free will to love
and obey His rules are for
love Jesus obeyed the Father,
Jesus is the King of Kings
1 Corinthians 15:20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
R. When Christ was tempted
by satan in garden
Matthew 4: 1-11
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the test by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry, and the tester came and said to him, If you are Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves. But he replied, Scripture says:
Human beings live not on bread alone
but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.The devil then took him to the holy city and set him on the parapet of the Temple. If you are Son of God, he said, throw yourself down; for scripture says:
He has given his angels orders about you,
and they will carry you in their arms
in case you trip over a stone.Jesus said to him, Scripture also says:
Do not put the Lord your God to the test.
Next, taking him to a very high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. And he said to him, I will give you all these, if you fall at my feet and do me homage. Then Jesus replied, Away with you, Satan! For scripture says:
The Lord your God is the one
to whom you must do homage,
him alone you must serve.Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels appeared and looked after him.
R. When a person is threatened they can
slip back to their familiar
vices of dealing with it
God loves us
Jesus tells us I love you
A man not loving himself can
be filled with fear to be
abandoned or unloved or
not receiving affection from
men seeking power over others and control
uses force to get his behavior to rule.
From Blue Book 7
Excerpt from April 16, 1995 Rosary
9. Jesus: Consecrate your lives to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary and pray fervently for your priests, for I live this day in the Church. Pray for the priests and the Church. I love you, My beloved ones, and I love My Church.
10. Jesus: Feed the hungry! My love is enough! People do not realize the immensity of My love. They scratch only the surface and I have such deep love to give. If you focus always on My love, you will be fed. You will know struggles and trials, but in all of these struggles, you will be brought to deeper life with Me. As you experience thorns, I give to you a bed of roses. I am Jesus, My beloved ones, and I have spoken directly to you of those things that I hold in My Heart and wish to share with you. Open up your hearts and your souls and ponder the words that I have spoken here. I truly long to be closely united to you, My precious chosen ones. Pray, pray, pray! Men have turned their backs. They have walked away and in their willfulness, they have forgotten God. I come to bring you new life that you might have it to the full.
Song: I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall not hunger and who believes in Me shall not thirst. No one can come to Me unless the Father beckons. And I will raise you up. And I will raise you up. And I will raise you up on the last day.
Jesus: Pray for My beloved priests and for the Church, My dear ones. Pray for the courage to go out into this world and be a witness of the love of God that you have within your hearts. It is fear that stops you from spreading this message. You, too, will be joined with Me forever and ever in heaven. I ask you to go out into the world and tell all you meet of My great love for them.
Locution Received After
Recitation of the Seven SorrowsJesus: I stand at the door of the hearts of mankind and knock. Many close their hearts and walk away. My beloved ones, pray for the souls of your brothers that they will open their hearts and let Me enter. Your prayers are so important for the salvation of many souls. Pray, My beloved ones! Pray as you have never prayed before. Unite ever more closely to My Most Sacred Heart. Pray always in union with Me and My Mother, the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory. Pray to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Spirit. Your prayers are so valuable to many souls. Do not underestimate the power of prayer. I call out to you this day to go as soldiers into this world.
- During Easter Sunday (April 16, 1995) Rosary
Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, Norwood, Ohio
Excerpt from December 27, 2011
Jesus: Wearing a title:
husband, wife,
priest, brother, sister
means you are committed
to your vocation
Giving scandal by tearing
down and lying, tearing
down structure, rules
is worthy of punishment
for the wrong you did and
the good you failed to do.
People that have dysfunctional
behavior patterns just do what
they do only harder and get the
same and worse results because
their behavior is dysfunctional.
R. (They must change, be converted)
Jesus: They look for
others to keep
acting out their dysfunctional
ways and they use some
means of force to implement
them
Then the rules are set
their rules how things
are run
These rules implemented
by force take the place
of the rules that were
to lead to growth
productivity and keeping
the focus on what it
should be on
These dysfunctional rules
go deeper into dysfunction
like gutter balls
There are no points scored
with gutter balls
Co-dependency can be
the rule
A person replaces things
acquired easily by
forcing dependency
on them
Then things are done or
not done depending
on them
They can hold out
make others suffer etc.
This false sense of power
can give only moments
satisfaction to them,
but power, manipulation
is their goal
not the work to be
accomplished and
things become
dependent on them
when, if, not at all,
unavailability
games of power
and control
Everything has the focus
on them, not on
what one is trying
to accomplish
Controlling and co-dependents
are dysfunctional ways
that people try to force
on others to get control
R. Time runs out for all
of us
To be successful now and
in the future institutions,
families, churches,
businesses must be
based on the truth
There must be obedience
and structure - a
hierarchy of structure
Jesus said that if rules are
challenged and challenged
and replaced by dysfunctional
rules then it cannot
continue in the future
If a family or group exists
only for today, for
the people now there,
then the rules can be
built around the
variety of their
dysfunction and
aggressive behavior
to enforce it
The renewal of the Church and
the world depends on
living according to the
commandments of God,
Our Creator and lived
out for His purpose
Obedient to God and His
Plan for salvation history.
If our lives focus on me - me
me then we have no
answers when a man is
called by death
What if our car, cell phone
etc. was taken away
and we were forced to
live life in another's shoes.
Dysfunction only functions when
one has implemented their
dysfunctional rules
through force
Dysfunctional rules can be in
families so someone going
home for Christmas can
be forced into old rules
they worked out of
as the family members
meet after years

The Ascension
Jesus: Before I ascended into heaven, I gave to the apostles the power to baptize and forgive sins. I give to My beloved priests this day this power through the Church. I give to each priest the power to change bread and wine into My most precious Body and Blood. How I love My Church and love My beloved priests-sons, for they are truly called. I live in this world today through My anointed ones.
R. See Jesus as He raises His arms and ascends into heaven and a cloud takes Him from our sight. We live on faith. We see the consecrated Host but we do not comprehend the great gift we have that He truly remains with us this day in the consecrated Host. God gives Himself to us! We become one in Him when we receive Him in the Eucharist. He gives us His Body.
Jesus: Do you see these mysteries, how glorious they truly are that I died and rose on the third day and then ascended into heaven?
Jesus: I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, come to this earth in such great love to save souls, to lead souls to heaven to be with Me forever and ever. How many souls will be lost because of their willfulness and their ways? Pray, My children, for the souls that are in darkness. They hold on to their foolish ways. They turn their backs and go their own way.
R. He went to heaven to prepare a place for us. Heaven is our true home!
R. He ascended into heaven and the gates of heaven were opened!
Jesus: I send you as missionaries into this world to spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus: You say: "For You, Lord, anything! For You, Lord, I will do anything!" And I call you to speak out in front of people and you say, "I can't do that, Lord!" I call you to pray to the Spirit for the courage to preach the Gospel for there are many who are suffering and in pain. Hear their words: "You helped me get to heaven"!
R. See the souls as they ascend into Heaven behind Jesus. See the souls as they are released from purgatory because of our prayers. See the great mercy of God that He loves souls. God the Father loves us so much that He sent His Son into this world so that we might be in heaven some day.
Jesus: See the souls of those living this day, and see them, as they die, being condemned to eternal damnation for their willfulness. For sin is sin and I came to give you life!
Song between decades: Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts

Glorious Mysteries
This rosary was delivered on Easter Sunday in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel. Jesus came alive in the large Sacred Heart picture. He came out of the picture. Marty saw clusters of angels around the Sorrowful Mother statue. Mary and Jesus moved their eyes.
The Resurrection
Jesus: It is in your suffering that you will have immense union with Me.
Jesus: As I died and rose on the third day, you, in your suffering, will rise to new life in Me.
Jesus: You have come to Me and I am here waiting for you to share this time alone with you. Put your minds at rest and unite ever so closely to My Most Sacred Heart.
R. Death has no power over Jesus! On the third day He rose victorious from the tomb, His body glistening in white. He truly rose to bring us new life. We are partakers in His divine life. The gift that we receive is far beyond our comprehension.
Jesus: You are as the Easter lily. You come from a narrow place and you grow more and more in this life with Me. You will bud and blossom forth and My life will radiate to this world as you become absorbed and saturated with the divine life that I impart to you.
Jesus: My power is endless for I am truly here and present in this room with you. Feel the vibrancy of My presence with you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the resurrected Lord. I live and am present with you this very day.
Jesus: The world has closed off their hearts. They have come, their hearts are hardened, their faces are hard. I am life! You must go out to this world and give the message of My immense love. Tell this world that I am alive and I have risen, that I am in your midst this day, that I live in such an abundant fashion in the hearts of men who are in the state of grace. You, My children, are so blind! I am so present to you! God lives and is in your midst and you do not see. You run down useless roads and look for such foolish things. Oh, how I love you, My beloved. I call you to a state of urgency to spread My message to this world.
Jesus: As you are in your hearts, so shall you be in this world. I am Jesus, the risen Lord. I live on in the hearts of men this day. What you do here will affect the lives of so many souls. I beg you to preach the Gospel, to pray for fearlessness to carry this message to the hearts of all men.
April 16, 1995 - Easter (excerpt)
Jesus: Speak with Fr. Carter, I am
speaking to you both. While you wait
others are speaking lies that
are poisoning many souls. I beg
you, beg you to speak, to spread
My love, to tell all how I talk
to you. I will tend to all other earthly
cares. If you and all involved focus on spreading
this message, if your main concern is to
help the hurting souls, to forget other
distractions satan is making, confusion, and
Focus on spreading My messages to all,
many will be brought to My Heart.
Do not worry what others think, you
are living to please Me, you are living
to love God. If you live to love God
all else will work out. Your main
concern is uniting ever closer to God,
in living every moment in the Father's
will, to realize I am working in
you at every moment, you must stay
so united to Me and My Mother. The plan
of the Father is unfolding. I am begging
you to speak, do not hold back, I will
provide the places. I am sending
those to you that will be very
important to promoting this plan.I love you so dearly. I want you to pray
the rosary. All you need is before
you. Satan is raging a war against
the priesthood. I beg you to be My
missionaries in this world. I am giving you
the fearlessness that the Apostles had when
they began to speak. Be open to the Spirit,
He is coming to you in a special way.
I Love You Jesus.Excerpt from Blue Book 7
April 14, 1995 - Good Friday
Pray for the Priests
Jesus: My priest-sons, many that I have chosen
are not holy. I give the priest a special gift, they

R. He calls and we tell Him to wait, as
the foolish virgins, we tell Him to
wait while we collect our belongings,
while we fix up our house, while we
tend to all our earthly affairs.He patiently waits for us and is attentive
to our every need and we do what we want,
many times. It is only in living in His will,
as a little child, living in harmony, obeying our
Heavenly Father, that we will be happy. Happiness
is found in living in His will.Jesus: My beloved ones, your lives are not always
in harmony with the will of the Father. If
you do your own wills you will not have
peace, only in doing His will do you find
peace and joy.You are on this earth to know, love
and serve God. How do you do this
in your life? You cannot serve two
Masters. Your Master must be
the Heavenly Father. He created you
to know, love and serve God, to do your
own will, when it conflicts with His will,
is to serve other gods and is to your own
detriment. I AM the WAY, the Truth
and the Life he who abides in Me will
have the light of life.R. He waits for us and holds us ever so tenderly
in a lasting embrace in His arms.This is the love He has.
Given December 30, 2011 - Feast of the Holy Family
Jesus: You are children of the Father.
I sweat blood for the ones who
through baptism was given a sharing
in God's life and they ignore the call
of God the Father to love God above
all things. Holding out, holding out
their love that is to be given to God
and others because they sit back
smugly wanting others to give to them.
They are on the top rung of the ladder
and no one is above them all must
be on rungs under them, serving them
telling them how great they are above
all.
God is above all. God created men
to serve God and give Him honor
and glory.
You can't be obedient to those over
you and disobedient at the same
time.
Obedience to God's will and those
over you please the heavenly Father.
The devil deceives the man who does
not love himself as God intends
telling him he is in competition
with other men and not seeing
himself as working as a unit. The
man listening to satan gets his
perks by seeing those men God the
Father intended him to work with, as
also inferior to him.
Men that love God work with others,
forgive others, want God's will.
A man who is condescending of those
called by God and intended by God
to work in unity is a man
stuck in a bath tub with a
clogged drain.
He thinks his image depends on
himself raising above men and
he fails to see his beauty in the
eyes of God the Father who created him.
He looks in envy on his brothers
who are seen by him as blocking
his way to being okay so he works
to disrespect and degrade others to
raise himself up.
God the Father created all with dignity,
with a purpose, to love and help
each other in unity as brothers
and sisters and to obey rules and
obey authority.
The man who deceives himself can
wear a mask of confidence and
tolerating others to the extent they
serve him and his vain glory.
We see the Pharaoh at the time
of Moses. Men were used as slaves
to serve the Pharaoh, but we
see that God was teaching Moses
people His way and leading them
eventually to the Promised Land.
A man who holds out to work
against God's Plan is rebelling
and being a rival to the only
Plan that works.
September 4, 2004
Jesus: I sweat blood in the garden
for the men who spent their lives
seeking dominance for dominance
sake and seeing their brothers in
envy and jealousy as enemies
to them. The man who has to
be smarter than every one else,
better than everyone else,
over everyone else, is not
living the Father's Plan.
He has in fact made himself
a rival to love, a rival to God's
gifts to other men he is
puffed up to his own limited
capabilities Can he create
a bird, can he make the stars
in the sky, is his pride
so great, he is in competition
even with God's teachings because
he is always above in intelligence,
skill, relationships, perfection
he has not learned what the life
on earth is all about he sees
himself as above and not in need
of any changing
others he sees as full of
faults and in need of so
much changing.
And his life can be spent
to prove he is above them so he
uses forces to dominate them
and force co-dependency upon
them.
Jesus: I give you this commandment
Read 1 John 2 December 29th
1 John 2: 3-11
In this way we know
that we have come to know him,
if we keep his commandments.
Whoever says, I know him
without keeping his commandments,
is a liar,
and truth has no place in him.
But anyone who does keep his word,
in such a one
Gods love truly reaches its perfection.
This is the proof
that we are in God.
Whoever claims
to remain in him
must act as he acted.
My dear friends,
this is not a new commandment
I am writing for you,
but an old commandment
that you have had from the beginning;
the old commandment
is the message you have heard.
Yet in another way, I am writing
a new commandment for you
and this is true for you,
just as much as for him
for darkness is passing away
and the true light is already shining.
Whoever claims to be in light
but hates his brother
is still in darkness.
Anyone who loves his brother
remains in light
and there is in him
nothing to make him fall away.
But whoever hates his brother
is in darkness
and is walking about in darkness
not knowing where he is going,
because darkness has blinded him.

God Calls Us to Love
John 13:34
I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
R.
Dear Jesus, I stand at the door of Your Heart and knock to come in. I want entry - to be lost totally and entirely in Thee. I want to be sheltered inside of Your Heart and wrapped deeply in Your infinite love.Jesus:
I call you, child, to love. Love is rooted in Me. I gave My all for love of you. I held nothing back. Love gives freely for the good of the other. Love exists to draw the other closer to God. If your relationship with your brother in anyway separates you from God, it is not love.Love is not haughty, love does not demand its own way, love exists to lead the other to closer union with Me. I loved you to My death. I gave to you My all! I ask you to give your all for your beloved brothers. In loving them, you are loving Me. I live in your brothers. How can you love Me who you do not see, if you do not love your brother who you see.
I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life. I give that you will know Me and know how to love one another. Love your brothers as I have loved you. When they persecute you and holler every evil word against you, love them. This is My way - to lay down My life for My friends.
John 13:34
I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.
R.
And to those who heeded His words, their lives were lived in peace and love and they experienced joy in their hearts, for true love brings peace and true love gives joy to the heart of the beholder. It is in loving that you receive, it is in giving that you are rendered to and it is in following the way of Christ that we are led into a life of everlasting happiness.Jesus:
I have not gone. I live with you this day. I am in your brothers. Love them as I have loved you.R.
And He sent them such blessings in such abundance and they knew a little of His unending mercy and love.

I Feed the Hungry Soul
Jesus:
Another person cannot feed your hungry soul. You search, you seek. Your starved soul craves only that which I can give. When your heart is searching for love, come, My sweet dear child, into My Heart. My Mother will take you to the deepest recesses of My Heart. There you will know such comfort - in My Heart on fire for love of you this day.You are a child of dignity. You are precious to Me. You are the creation of the Father. I gave the last drop of My blood for you. This is love - you need grace to realize the immenseness of God's love. You are so special to God, all three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mary loves you so much.
You can never be satisfied on this earth. If you find the dearest mother, father, lover, friend, they will not fill you with the love your soul craves. To find Me is to seek Me. You will not be satisfied on this earth.
You, My child, experience longing for My intense love. I love you to want Me. This is how I long for love of each precious soul. I long for them with the most tender Heart, beating and breathing with fire. I never falter. I never grow dim. I am the same, with the same burning love. Come to Me and jump into My precious Heart. I love you so much.

You Are the Fathers Creation
Jesus:
I come to you in one another. Let not your hearts be hard, let your hearts be as little children, tender and pure. They do not hold grudges, they love each other, they love themselves.You are the creation of My beloved Father. You were created with such dignity and love. I died for you. I gave My life that you would share My life. Oh, My child, pray to the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, to let you see where you are blind, to open your hearts to the ways of God. Pray to Him to sanctify you.
You are called to be Christ to one another. Your hearts have turned hard. Your ways are not My ways. My way is always to love. My ways are to give. My ways are to see in your brother the creation of the Father, so beautiful, so uniquely created.
Each child is a gift from God to this world. Each child is a gift of unique love, given by the Father. You were uniquely created. You are so loved. Pray to know your specialness to God. It is in realizing His love for you that you will love your brothers.
R.
We are all brothers in Christ. God is our Father. We are all one.Jesus:
Join, My little ones, in such love. It is in loving that you will be at peace. Love of each other creates joy in your hearts. Pray for the grace to know and love God more. It is in this knowledge and God's love that you will be My light that shines in the darkest night.I am the Way, I am the Truth. I am the Life! To live in Me you must come to know and love Me. Follow My ways. My ways are the ways of truth. My ways are not always the easy way, they are the ways of love.
If you are to be joined in your hearts, you must love every man. Every man is your brother. You must put on Christ in all your ways. Would Christ act as you are acting?
I love you so much. It is in meditating on My love for you that you will love your brothers.
I put you on this earth to love one another. Pray to the Spirit to know My ways. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I truly come to bring you new life. It is in Me you will have the light of life. I love you so, the Father loves you so, the Spirit wants to live in your hearts and make you alive with the love of God. Pray to Mary to lead you through her loving heart into such love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
My child, come to My ever burning Heart. I do not love you one moment and forget you the next. I am forever burning brightly for you. I never falter. I am forever on fire for love of you. If you forget Me, I never ever forget you, I love you so much.

These Messages Need to Circulate
Jesus:
My dear children, I tell you to listen to Me here. I am delivering messages for all to be read and distributed. Souls need to read these messages. Your Center will grow in love of Me when you circulate these messages. I ask. You have a free will. These are My letters of love to all. They are not being read. I deliver these messages to you to deliver to My faithful ones. Please, I beg you to circulate My messages. What more do I say to you!This world is moving further and further from Me. I control your every breath. Do you think you are independent of He Who keeps you alive, second by second?
You do not know how truly frail you are? You do not control the air, the water, the sun, your food. You are dependent on Me for your existence, second by second.
I am your Most loving Savior. I speak to you here. Please listen to Me. This is an urgent request. I love you so and love each hurting soul. All the Blue Books have different messages. They speak to all of you. They need to be published. I will provide the funds to see to this. Your delays are stopping the progress of so many returning to My most intimate love. I beg you, please answer My plea.

Come to My Waiting Arms
Jesus:
My child, My eyes are watching you. You sit in front of Me in the tabernacle where I am exposed and you kneel in front of Me. I am no less present than when I hung from the cross.My eyes looked to the heavens above to behold the glimpses of My dear Mother under My cross. My eyes saw it all. I saw the hatred, the anger in their eyes as they came for Me to scourge Me. Such deep darkness in their souls - the bottomless pit of darkness! These eyes of Mine beheld My dear Mother, close by My side on Calvary. To see her suffering! My eyes watched as I so horribly suffered Myself. My eyes watch you, My beloved, kneel in front of Me here and know how My Heart forever beats with such love for you and you do not realize this love.
My eyes watch My beloved ones suffer so. Many sufferings made by their own willfulness to do what they choose and not what I tell them. My eyes watch My beloved ones suffer and I do not interfere with their free will. But, My eyes watch them with the same love that led Me to death on the cross.
Think of My eyes watching you. Know how I am present to you in your hearts. I am so close to you, My dearly beloved ones! If you only knew how your life depends on My constant care for you!
Your every breath is dependent on Me. Oh, little blind earth, when will you come to My waiting arms? When will you see this God Who loves you so dearly? What do I need to do to show you My love? Open up your closed hearts. Pray for grace. Come and sit with Me in front of the tabernacle. Attend the Mass. Receive communion. My grace I pour out to you to know and love Me more. If you do not come, you are missing such graces! Love your brothers. You receive graces through your good works. You will grow in your love and knowledge of Me as you cooperate with this grace I pour out to you.
Oh, little one, you need to come to Me. The devil is so strong. You need the grace I pour out to you to grow in holiness. You need the Spirit to sanctify you. Oh, I love you so. Do not give into satan to trip you up and get you focused on his nonsense. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, am in your midst this very day and I am forever watching you.
R.
The eyes that watch me as I sit here with Him! He is watching me with such love! The Father is with me with such love. The Spirit is within me, moving within me to make me grow in holiness. Oh, please God, I want to grow in love and knowledge of You. I love You so much!They constantly accused Jesus and persecuted Him with such accusations. He showed us the way. He was silent. He did not argue. They clothed Him many times and made Him change His garments. Jesus was the little innocent lamb led to the slaughter. He yielded to them, and they stripped Him and persecuted Him. He did all this for love of us. He was silent. Are we silent when satan tries to attack us through others? Does it do any good to answer an angry attack? He was silent to His death on the cross. He loved those who persecuted Him. He yielded to their treatment. He was the victim being led to the slaughter.
The Father loved us so much He gave His only Son up to death with such persecution! He loves us so much this very day. He sees the creationHe has made and He loves His creation so much. We are so loved by the Father.
Jesus:
I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. I am Jesus, come to you this day, exposed here in the Eucharist. I give you Myself out of such love. I yielded to all their insults and persecution that ended in My death. I remain in such love for you this day.What more do I say to you? I love you so much. Study My passion and see the love I gave for you. Oh, dear one, you are so loved!

Jesus: I died for you
I sweat blood for your sins
The man who tries to make wrong - right
and right - wrong is operating
from satan
The world wants you to water down
what men do so the rules
don't exist anymore.
When you disobey - you disobey.
When you punish others by holding
back what doesn't belong
to you to force a dysfunctional
behavior you are wrong and
you are not right - no matter
how you fail to love
how you fail to disunify
how you try to tear down what
others built and established
as rules
WRONG is WRONG and
RIGHT is RIGHT
Song: I Am a God of Justice
Jesus: My hand is struck with power.
When I want to move in a
certain direction I have
all the power.
Weak little men - trying
to force wrong behavior as
right is not going to get
past Me.
The very hairs of your
head are numbered.
Your days hurting others,
tearing down My vine are
counted in My record
book.
The pain I suffered to My
Heart was stabbing Me
straight through for men
who live to dominate at
any expense to the building
of the Kingdom and My plan
for renewal of the Church
and the world
My Mother had a invisible
sword in her heart for her
children lording their
brutal ways over other
children. She appeared to say:
